ütésre

Ütésre is a form in the Hungarian language formed from the noun ütés, meaning a hit or blow, with the directional suffix -re. The resulting form functions as a bound expression rather than a standalone lexeme and is used in contexts related to direction, target, or purpose connected to the act of hitting.

Grammatical function and usage: In Hungarian, the suffix -re attaches to nouns to convey a sense of direction toward a surface, target, or event, or to indicate readiness or appropriation for a future action. Ütésre thus appears in phrases and constructions where the act of hitting is being framed as a goal, target, or occasion of action. It is most common in formal, legal, or literary contexts and in certain idiomatic or set expressions. Because it is a case-like or bound form, ütésre does not typically stand as an independent base word in everyday speech.

Etymology: Ütésre is built from ütés (the noun “hit” or “blow”) and the suffix -re, which in Hungarian contributes directional or purposive nuance. Ütés itself comes from the verb ütni, meaning “to hit,” with nominalization producing the noun ütés.

Usage notes: As a grammatical suffix form, ütésre relies on context for its precise interpretation. Its meaning can shift with different surrounding words and constructions, so it is most easily understood within complete phrases or sentences rather than in isolation. The form is a relatively specialized element of Hungarian morphology and is not a common everyday headword. See also the related noun ütés and the verb ütni for wider linguistic context.
